Rory McIlroy set his sights on joining Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele as three-time winners on the PGA Tour in 2025. McIlroy is currently tied with Tiger Woods with 18 PGA Tour victories, and a three-win season would give him sole possession of sixth place on the all-time list. The Northern Irishman has won at least once in each of the past five seasons, and he has shown no signs of slowing down.
In a disappointing turn of events, Rickie Fowler has officially withdrawn from the WM Phoenix Open due to an illness, as announced by the PGA Tour on Thursday.
Originally set to tee off at 12:06 p.m. EST alongside fellow competitors Xander Schauffele and Jon Rahm, Fowler becomes the second player to step back from the tournament this week, following Justin Rose’s earlier withdrawal.
The 34-year-old golfer has been grappling with an unspecified illness over the past few days, which has hindered his ability to practice or play at his usual level. After consulting with his doctor on Thursday morning, he made the tough decision to withdraw.
“I’m very disappointed to have to withdraw from the WM Phoenix Open,” Fowler expressed in a heartfelt statement. “I love playing in front of the fans here and was genuinely looking forward to this week. Unfortunately, I’m not feeling well enough to compete at my best.
